New city jerseys released. I like the design, but don't love using PIA.

I just got an email showing the new design. Looks like they will be worn for the Indiana State home game on Dec. 2- http://links.engage.ticketmaster.com/servlet/MailView?ms=MTAyNTExMjQS1&r=MjU3MDY5NTYyMDAxS0&j=M Tg2MDQxMzk0OAS2&mt=1&rt=0

Also, they have a special pricing deal, buy one ticket, and get a second for $3.09 (Peoria area code for those not in Central Illinois).

Looks kinda bland. Don't really like using "PIA". Why not just say "Peoria" on it? The script unis are the superior look

It is a take-off on the Major League Baseball trend with the "City Connect" jerseys, or the NBA alternate jerseys with the city abbreviation on them. These jerseys are not meant to replace the current Bradley script jerseys, it is just a temporary change, mainly for a promotion and marketing. Notice that they will have merchandise and apparel with the new look available starting with the Nov. 25 home game against Vermont.

Anyone else miss 2000's era jersey's? Maybe its just because i was in school then and thought Ruffin was the man but those shorts and jerseys were great. I know kids hate on the baggy stuff now, but in my generation it was awesome.
 
I hope these uniforms are only used for one game! Do they say Bradley on them anywhere?We are 'Bradley' in Peoria.Promote the school more than the city in my opinion.The city is not going to help with recruiting.

Don't know yet if they will be used more than once.
No, they do not say Bradley anywhere on them, but they do have the Bradley logo on the jersey and the shorts.

I'm a fan. Drake has emphasized their hometown on uniforms in recent years as well. And it's not unusual at all to use airport designations either. Portland often goes by "PDX" and the Trailblazers have worn that designation.

Also, this coming Indiana State game has been picked up by ESPNU.

Can't disagree. I like them, but they would have had more eye-appeal with a little color accent...

I personally like the color scheme, I think the white/silver really makes the red pop. I like the concept of recognizing the city. I like the use of the skyline. I just don't like using PIA because all I see is Peoria International Airport. I would have preferred PEORIA. I thought maybe the 309, but I guess that might cause consternation with ISU.

Not a fan - It didn't even hit me until about 15 sec that PIA meant Peoria, and if a die-hard Braves fan doesn't get it right away, how will the rest of the country??

Maybe worst and blandest unis I've ever seen from BU hoops.

I am totally ok with people in Bloomington Normal (the 309) being represented on the national stage by Bradley University mens hoops. That’s as it should be.:lol:
 
So Bradley misses another opportunity. Last year when they came out with merchandise with the script logo, you had to pre-order your merch. I guarantee they could have sold quite a bit by having extra at the game and there was none.

This time with the PIA, there were no pre-orders and only merchandise to buy at the game. We arrived at 630, all of the hoodies were gone and most of the tshirts. They again underestimated how much they could sell...

I'm just venting because I didn't get a hoodie!!

I heard a lot of complaints about them not having enough product. They should have taken orders last night and had them for pickup next Saturday before the game. Have to wonder who is in charge of selling merchandise at these games.

It just amazes me how poor they are at selling merch. There should have been more than enough there, and it should be sold in the bookstore. I am shocked there hasn't been more merch with the script logo since that seems to be the new unofficial primary MBB logo.
